02The need

Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
show:
Its human-services grants (FY20–24, $8.2M) land where the poverty rate runs at 14%, against an area that typically sits at 9%. 91% of those dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Most of its grants land in higher-need ZIPs.

›How this is measured
Matched: human-services grants are those whose grantee’s IRS cause code is Human Services. Placed by people below the poverty line in the grantee’s ZIP, averaged from the tracts in that ZIP.

The hardship those neighborhoods carry, beyond income:
Adults without health insurance:reaches 40.1% in some neighborhoods (typically 11.7%)(CDC, modeled)
Eviction pressure:up to 27.6 filings per 100 renter households in the hardest-hit areas(Eviction Lab, 2018)
Food access:97 of 800 neighborhoods are USDA-designated food deserts(USDA, 2019)
Hardest-hit ZIP codes: share of households below a basic cost of living
US grants placed by each grantee’s ZIP, which can differ from where services are delivered. Need from public data (U.S. Census/ACS, CDC PLACES, Eviction Lab, USDA), shown as context about the area, never attributed to the funder’s giving.

Where the work is directed
The same grants placed two ways: where each recipient sits, and where its stated purpose sends the money.
About 5% of Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation’s grant dollars are earmarked for a different county than the recipient’s own address. By recipient address, 95% of the giving stays in FL; by stated purpose, 93%.

›How this is measured
Recipient view: each grant at its grantee’s ZIP, mapped to a county. Directed view: each grant at the county its stated purpose names, falling back to the recipient’s county when the purpose names no place; US grants only. A county shows only if it carries the top 95% of that view’s dollars. Purposes are read from the funder’s own 990 grant descriptions.

Where new relationships form · theme of each grantee’s first grant
First-time means a grantee’s first year in the filing window; renewed means funded in an earlier year too. The renewed share climbs naturally as a portfolio matures, so the signal is a year that bucks it (a wave of new grantees). The earliest year is left-censored: relationships that predate the data read as new. Theme is the grantee’s IRS cause.

The Bay Park Conservancy Inc
Conviction
A civic bet that kept growing
The Barancik Foundation has backed Bay Park Conservancy across three grants from 2022 to 2024, contributing $1,830,000 toward a 53-acre signature bayfront park on Sarasota Bay. Over that period the Conservancy's revenue grew at a compound annual rate of 96%, and since Phase 1 opened in October 2022 the park has recorded more than 730,000 visitors and 44,000 free community programmes.
A single $250,000 grant in 2022, roughly 79% of Tikkun HaYam's revenue that year, was an early backing of this faith-rooted ocean-conservation nonprofit, which has since grown its revenue by 58% and continued to file. Since then, Tikkun HaYam has expanded from scuba certification for college students to an international Jewish waterfront cleanup event, Alternative Spring Break service-learning trips in the Florida Keys, and a Blue/Green Initiative helping faith communities move away from single-use plastics.
Trajectories are each organization’s own subsequent IRS filings; milestones are from the public record, linked to source. Revenue is the organization’s whole income from every source. We date what happened after a grant and do not claim the grant caused it.

The grantee most central to the portfolio’s shape is Manatee Community Foundation Inc; the most unlike its peers is The Marc & Jennifer Fleischer Family Charitable Foundation. Resemblance is measured on each organization’s own IRS 990 mission text; it reflects how work is described, not its quality or impact.

Co-funders
Grantmakers whose grantees overlap with this funder’s far more than size alone predicts. Closer means stronger alignment; arcs show where they also fund each other. Here they form a tightly interlocked group: most of these funders back each other's grantees too.

Affinity is a Gamma-Poisson posterior co-funding rate, re-centered on the typical rate, so thin evidence shrinks toward no signal. Overlap is association, not proof of shared intent.

48report government grants on their 990 we could not trace to a source (not plotted)
4rely on government for over half their income
typical government reliance, FY20–25
›How this is measured
Government income is each org’s traced federal awards (USASpending grants and contracts) plus state payments (open checkbooks) as a share of its total revenue (IRS Form 990); the self-reported government-grant line (990 line 1e) is carried for cross-check: a grantee that reports government grants we could not trace to a source is left off the chart rather than shown as receiving none. An association, not a claim that a grant caused the public funding. Coverage is precision-first, a floor rather than a census; state records exist for 9 states, so a grantee outside them shows no state figure (dimmed) rather than a false zero. Federal award amounts are obligations, which can span years, so a single-year share is indicative. 990 filings lag 12 to 24 months.

How do I get to Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation?
Find your warmest path to Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation through trustees and officers whose names appear on both boards. Search for your organization and Plinth traces the shortest route it can evidence.
Each link is a name appearing on two organizations’ public IRS 990 filings, matched on that name and, where the filings support it, on location. A same-state match has geographic support, which is a second matching feature rather than confirmation that the two are one person; a cross-state one is the likeliest to be two people who share a name. Every hop shows its tier, low-confidence and distant paths are held back rather than guessed, and it is worth confirming the person before you use the introduction.
